The Trump Administration has placed itself in front of two major foreign policy initiatives. Both involve nuclear weapons. Both are not, however, actually about nuclear weapons. On the one hand, Donald Trump is attempting to make peace with North Korea, which has a nuclear arsenal and has been technically at war with the US since 1950. Many of Trump’s supporters have, in fact, been prematurely praising the US President for the success of his peace initiative, even though he has yet to accomplish anything concrete. On the other hand, Donald Trump is attempting to unwind his predecessor’s foreign legacy as he seeks to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. With the future of the Iranian Nuclear Deal in the US President’s hand and a US-North Korea summit being planned, Trump is on the verge of reshaping US foreign policy in the Middle East as well as Asia.

Kanye West is a controversial celebrity who built his personal brand on his self-proclaimed greatness, never-ending self-promotion, and fits of rage, which can result from the slightest criticism of him or anything else that happens to offend him. In these respects, Kanye West is Donald Trump’s brother, which is an observation West made in support of the US President. His statements, of course, provoked backlash against him from Trump critics and a sizable portion of the rapper’s own fan base. Obviously, people, even public figures, are entitled to have divergent political views from those who support them for nonpolitical reasons. What truly angered and alienated people from all walks of life, however, was Kanye West’s pronouncement that slavery was a choice. He then rationalized his argument by proclaiming himself an alleged free thinker, which he did by regurgitating widely used Right-Wing propaganda.

To summarize the information gathering and sharing practices of these companies, they are essentially stalking everyone then selling the personal data they amass. Not only have these firms failed to consider the social, moral, or ethical ramifications of these actions, they are also developing technologies that encourage dysfunctional behavior. Ironically, most tech firms like to consider themselves progressive, as well as socially responsible and ethical, but they clearly have not actually examined the social impact of their policies and products.
